Photon Volume—Assigns a photon volume shader.
Likeaphotonshader,aphotonvolumeshader
modifies caustics and global illumination, but it
affects photons that pass through the inside of the
object, rather than photons that collide w ith its
surface.

Bump—Assigns a bump shader. Bump shading for
mental ray m aterials is similar to
bump mapping
(page 2–1347)
for standard materials.
The bump component can be assigned the
following shaders:

Environment—Assigns an environment shader.
Like an environment you assign using the Render
Scene dialog, the environment shader changes the
scene background.
